Campaign for climate change – a teenager project with a difference

Greta Thunberg first became interested in climate change when she was only eight years old
and said she could not understand why no one was really doing anything about it. At age 11,
she became depressed and said, “I feel like I am dying inside if I don’t protest.”

On 20th August 2018, Thunberg, now just 15, decided to start a protest by not going to school
after there had been forest fires in Sweden. Because she wanted the Swedish government to
do something, she protested by sitting outside the parliament building every day during school
hours with the sign Skolstrejk för klimatet (school strike* for the climate). She began to gain
worldwide attention. She inspired school students globally to take part in student strikes. More
than 20,000 students had held strikes in about 270 cities by December 2018.

On 23rd January 2019, Thunberg travelled to a meeting of global leaders in Davos in Switzerland.
She told them, “Some people, some companies, some decision makers in particular have known
exactly what priceless* values they have been sacrificing* to continue making unimaginable*
amounts of money. I think many of you here today belong to that group of people.”

Some days later, she warned the global leaders that, “I don’t want you to be hopeful. I want you to
panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as
you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house was on fire – because it is.”

Greta Thunberg has since won many awards for her campaign project to try and stop climate
change, and in December 2018, Time magazine named Thunberg one of the world’s 25 most
influential* teenagers of the year.
